Taylor,I really hope I haven't missed you already this morning. Especially since I've held you in suspense all week. So here's the news you've been waiting for: The new bishop is Bishop Channan Day, First Counselor: Scott Sandavol, Second Counselor: Ron Arrington. That's all of the changes for now, but we expect several more in the coming weeks.
Colton woke up very sick yesterday morning, but Josh had to be there to be released and I was needed to play the organ. We decided to take him just in his street clothes, and Josh would take him home right after he had born his testimony. Colton didn't make it that long. He gaged on the bread during the sacrament and threw up in the chapel. Josh was on the stand, and I was still at the organ with no clue this was going on. Mindy McBride and Ron Arrington took him out and cleaned him up. What a day. I'm hoping that next week marks the start of easier sacrament meetings as Josh will now be able to sit with us and lend his assistance.
Colton's preschool teacher, Mrs. Kathy died last week. I went to her memorial service on Saturday. It was the first Catholic service I have ever attended. I was surprised to learn that the service was uplifting and focused mostly on the resurrection of the Savior. But the spirit wasn't the same, and the insense made me sick.
Oh, and here's some news. I don't mean to rub it in, ok well just a little. Last week Bashas had this crazy deal. You could buy a 5 pack of mac & cheese for a reduced price and it came with a $2.50 off coupon for tombstone pizza. Not impressed you say? Well tombstone pizza was on sale for $3.50 so the coupon made it only a dollar. Still not impressed? Well, they ran out of tombstone and were substituting Dijorno. That's right. Dijorno for $1. No we did not stock up on them for you. That's a lot of mac & cheese to buy. But we did think of you as we enjoyed our pizza.
So, on that delicious thought, I will let you go.
Love you,
Kimberly
Pizza for a dollar THATS REDICULOUS!!!!What are they like. How many people usually attend? My ward there are 200 each week. In SALAMA there is 100 in the branch.
Are they wards or branches? depends on the area.. if your out there is always a branch.
Are there several strong members or do a few carry the majority of the responsibility? here the members are amazing
What is your relationship with the ward as a Missionary? Its not like UTAH.. EVERYONE knows the missionaries
How often do you interact with the members? Daily!!
Do you get asked to speak very often? NOPE!! THANKFULLY!! Etc...
